The Secondaryhttp://umgoblue.com/talk/(c) UMGoBlue.COM- By Fans...For Fans30Re:The Secondary (uferfan) Oh, there plenty of bodies- those bodies just need to be turned around and looking for the ball instead of facing the receiver that just ran by them...causing them to either get burned, or have the ball hit them is the helmet, back, arms, butt, legs- or wherever else. <br> &nbsp; <br> I haven't been able to comprehend how we can play so far off the receivers and our corners and safeties are routinely chasing these guys after the ball is thrown. <br> http://umgoblue.com/talk/fb.ashx?m=245568Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:36:07 GMTRe:The Secondary (UMWolverine5) Yeah the "no bodies" thing is no longer an excuse. Some talented recruits in there, too. I could see Reon Dawson move to safety for depth reasons but GMatt does love bigger corners! <br> http://umgoblue.com/talk/fb.ashx?m=245551Fri, 17 Jan 2014 07:52:59 GMTRe:The Secondary (ScottsdaleBlue) We have a plentiful crop of CBs but need these dudes to develop NOW: <br> <br> Countess <br> Lewis <br> Stribling <br> Douglas <br> TRich <br> Taylor <br> Hollowell <br> Watson <br> Dawson <br> Peppers <br> <br> Go Blue!! <br> http://umgoblue.com/talk/fb.ashx?m=245534Thu, 16 Jan 2014 16:57:55 GMTRe:The Secondary (jsj_297) <blockquote class="quote"><i>MichFan4Life</i><br> <br> <br> Size has little to do with getting smoked on double moves or getting lost in coverage.

Or he just simply needs to listen to Mattison and Mattison only. <br> <br> Go Blue!! <br> http://umgoblue.com/talk/fb.ashx?m=245528Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:26:19 GMTRe:The Secondary (UMWolverine5) Look what you started, Scottsdale. <br> http://umgoblue.com/talk/fb.ashx?m=245521Thu, 16 Jan 2014 14:42:07 GMTRe:The Secondary (MichFan4Life) Size has little to do with getting smoked on double moves or getting lost in coverage.

Not great. <br> <br> Michigan allowed 42 passing plays of 20 yards or more (No. 69 nationally). That's quite a leap from the 25 it allowed last season. But that's not all. Michigan allowed 10 pass plays of 40 yards or more -- No. 73 nationally. <br> <br> The Wolverines were gashed plenty this season, perhaps the low point coming in a last-minute 80-yard drive for a game-tying score against Penn State. <br> <br> The numbers were bad, but Michigan's lack of an athletic, physical shut down corner completely hinders the way Greg Mattison calls his defense. Michigan couldn't blitz the way he wanted this season because he couldn't afford to put his corners on an island in man-to-man coverage. <br> <br> Taylor and Countess battle like heck for smallish corners, but they're not big. Taylor is 5-foot-10, 183 pounds, Countess is 5-foot-10, 182. Michigan needs more skilled size on the edge defensively. <br> <br> The good thing here? Jabrill Peppers is on the way. Couple his arrival with increased development of Stribling and Michigan might be in business.</blockquote> <br> <br> Some ugly numbers there... <br> <br> Go Blue!! <br> http://umgoblue.com/talk/fb.ashx?m=245518Thu, 16 Jan 2014 14:28:39 GMT
